Cheap: Make her a nice dinner. Maybe get some wine. You could make a pasta dish with a salad for an appetizer, some italian bread, some cheap wine, for not that much.. Maybe pick up or make a desert. Maybe have some candles, some chill music. Put on a shirt and tie too, that always is impressive..

I second Josh's ideas.
Make her dinner. It's cheaper then a restaurant, and making dinner together can be romantic. Set up the place nice, candles and whatnot, and dress up.

Depending on your access level to her bedroom, any florist chain will give you BAGS of rose petals that you can sprinkle on/around her bed. If you go with the dinner routine and that is an expectation, you could make up your room that way.

I like the cook dinner yourself idea but,
try not to go the italian route as that is the most clichee thing to do... making Pasta is not impressive.. u might as well pour cereal or make an egg :/
read up some good recipes online for a good chicken or steak (right herbs and spices and what not)...
way more impressive...
remember, girls know how to cook, and they know how much effort is put in..

isn't it called bootcamp for the marines rather than basic? i know it's the same but i also know marines are sticklers about terminology, ie: they refer to themselves as marines rather than soldiers.

anyway.. i second the romantic dinner idea. and cooking pasta is relatively easy if you've done a couple times already. garlic bread is easy too, just keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. salad, duh. if you know how cook, a small chicken parm would fit nicely with a side of pasta.

get some candles, sweet music, and make it a semi formal night. i think your girl would love it.

Ohhrah Marine Corps. You know i am in Iraq right now right Matt?? What MOS did you go with? Well have fun in boot.
